Golden Racing Scarf

[Rikimaru.7890]

The Golden Racing Scarf isn't really gold, it's just dyed with Gold Dye so it can be dyed any color.As much as I never cared for it I still feel cheated. Anyone else feel the same?

[Illconceived Was Na.9781]

Isn't it shinier than the regular one?

Thanks god, it would've been awful not being able to dye it any other color. I don't like golden stuff.

[Pipann.6317]

So you're upset that it is dyeable rather than that it isn't? :#

[Algreg.3629]

any other place I´d assume that is tongue in cheek. Sadly, not around here.

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

Finally we have a "cape". Too bad its a shoulder skin and not a backpack.

[JDub.1530]

It's gold and it's a scarf. I fail to see the false advertising. It's also free, so I fail to see the being cheated.

[Abelisk.4527]

Not only can you dye the scarf multiple shades of gold, you can dye it any color you like.

One thing I guess kinda throws me off is the shader used for the scarf. It's that metallic texture that desaturates every dye.

[Mat H.2859]

To me, the disappointing thing about the Golden Racing Scarf is that it has only one dye channel. Normal Racing Scarf has three. Shouldn't the better version have more options. As an example the mounts that you get for free are the ones only have one dye channel and the gemstore ones are the ones with more dye channels.

lol what were you expecting exactly?

There's basically no other way they could have done a "gold scarf" that wouldn't have just been worse than what we got.

I agree with this. The shader that gives it that plastic look is meh, but really only on the normal one. I'd expect that kind of thing on the golden scarf, but not on the normal. Can we get rid of that on the normal scarf?

I agree it should be made of real gold. Truth in advertising and all. I get that this would be expensive to produce at over $1200 per ounce but no compromising on integrity.

Once we get this fixed its on to the next crusade: Gold,, Silver, and Copper coin drops are actually made of real gold, silver, and copper. ANet owes me billions of dollars!!!

[sasya neko.1985]

maybe it's because this game can't really handle gold shading?

[Danikat.8537]

I like it the way it is. If it was gold coloured no matter what it would only suit one, maybe two of my characters. This way I can dye it to suit more of them, and if the shine doesn't work either I can use the normal one.

It has physics? Mines stiff as hell, just sits there on my Charr.

what does shading have to do with physics?

[TriEdge.5149]

We really need capes as backpack skins, it's been 6 years, common anet plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

How so? :o Why would the fact that it's dyeable make you feel "cheated"?

@Illconceived Was Na.9781 said:Isn't it shinier than the regular one?

Yes, it has a metal surface.

@Dante.1763 said:It has physics? Mines stiff as hell, just sits there on my Charr.

Might be your graphics settings?

Considering mine are on the highest they can be i dont think so!

Might be worth repairing your client. Sometimes the only symptoms of a corrupted file within the .DAT are weird things like that: no physics on an item that is supposed to have physics or disappearing objects. Unlikely, but since it's free to try, why not? (Well, it costs some time: depending on the speed of your hard drive, could take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, maybe more if you have an older set of specs.)

Mmm how do i do that anyways? never had a need to do it.

Create a shortcut to GW2 and adjust the properties to a -repair after the path (e.g. "c:\gaming\gw2\gw2.exe" -repair).(The GW2 Knowledge Base has a step-by-step explanation for those who need it: click on 'Support' above and search for 'repair'.)

Also just found another thread that offered this idea:

I have noticed one work around though.If you hide and unhide a piece of equipment it will reset the character model to your current settings.Figured that out because the blue glow on leystone armor has the same problem.

This is obviously easier to try.

Well, my animations are set to high so it looks something else is broked, trying the repair right now.

You tried hiding/unhiding the shoulder?
